WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Democrats say they will subpoena Republican megadonor Harlan Crow and conservative activist Leonard Leo for more information about their roles in organizing and paying for luxury travel for Supreme Court justices.

The committee has voted to force the justices to abide by stricter ethical standards, but the legislation has little chance of becoming law.
